February 19,1997 Moreditli HcralU Campus Extras Editorial: The BeeHive after the balloons deflate By Beth Hall Give them ReeBucks, and they will come. But will they stay? Cenainly, the 1997 BeeHive, with its wide variety of quality foods, new facilities, and bright neon signs, is an atmosphere above the BeeHive of yester-semester. Almost any time during its operating hours, you can find a resi dent or commuter digging through a rack of chips or fogging up the refrigerator case while selecting a yogurt. Sometimes it’s even crowded in there. And it’s not only because it is the size of a, well, snack bar. It’s because students are really inter ested, The BeeHive completes tlie Cate/Park Student Center’s understood requisite to be a true college student center. Students appreciate tiie snack bar's extended hours. Students uppft- ciate its bright atmosphere. Students appreciate the fact that it isn’t the cafeteria. Students (resi dents, anyway) really appreciate the $25 BeeBucks. However, will resident students continue to patronize the BeeHive after the BeeBucks fly away, and the “oooh, a new place” hype is gone? Will tlie BeeBuckless commuters, who are the Beehive’s target audience, continue to visit? Resident students are “given” (remember that “room and board” fee you paid earlier this semester? Board=daily meals. Fee forroom and board-$25=your BeeBucks) $25 to use at the BeeHive via their CamCard. Why would resi dents, who already have a meal plan, buy food regularly at the BeeHive? Is the BeeHive really that helpful for board ing students whose schedule doesn’t allow them to eat during the dining hall’s lunch hours? Sure the BeeHive is open when the Belk Dining Hall is closed, but is it fair for one student to have to pay extra for their lunch at the BeeHive while aiwther can eat at tlie dinmg hall where tbeir food bill has already been settled. And what about these certain lunch hours (11AM-2PM) that students can’t use their BeeBucks anyway? And what about tliose poor BeeBuck-de- prived commuters? (,'ouldn’t they be given a little money on their CamCard account to ease their BeeHive purchasing woes? Maybe com muters whodon’t buy food at the BeeHive now, would be tanuilized by a little free money on their CamCard account (to be spent exclusively at the BeeHive.) And what about tiiose poor resident stu dents who have already paid for their meal plans? Couldn’t their BeeBucks be renewed by the semester or year? (What liappened to that first $25 worth of BeeBucks that would have been spent last semester if there had been a place to spend them?) Will tiK BeeHive which put tlie sting into the Cate/Park Center continue its buzz, or will it, like the insect, fade after its sting?

Letter to the Editor: Student asks about newspaper stands Dear Editor, I am a student in Meredith's continuing education program and 1 aiii wondering why there isn’t anywhereon campus that 1 can buy a newspaper. When 1 came to the student center to buy books this semester, I asked someone in the bookstore if dierc is some where that I could buy a paper and they referredmetoJobnson Hail. 1 asked someone in Johnson Hall if there was a newspaper stand and tliey told me there used to be one but they took it away. Does anyone else think it's strange (hat you camiot but a newspaper on campus? Is anyone out there interested in being informed of tlie news of tlie day?
